THE DEADLY COLD.
AN AWFUL LOSS OF HUMAN LIFE.

LIVINGSTON, Mont, February II
There are serious apprehensions that there
will he an appalling loss Of human life in
Montana. Snow began falling the middle
OF November, and there is now more of it
on the ground than for ten years. Most
Of the stage roads are entirely closed up,
and trains are running at irregular inter
walls. some being four or five days apart,
and the supply of fuel is almost exhausted.
Three days ago coal was selling at $50 a
ton, and now it tan hardly he purchased
at any price. The snow is drilted to
enormous depths, and people living at
mountain basis are in imminent danger OF
meeting a horrible fate beneath an ava
lanche or freezing to death.
Should another protracted storm occur,
it is believed hundreds would succumb to
its terrOrs. As it is, more people have
frozen to death this winter than for a quar-
terOf n century. The now will be a long
time disappearing, even with chinook
winds, as q solid sheet of ice an inch thick
formed over it late in January, and since
that time nearly two feet has fallen. The
cold has been intense, varying from 49'
below zero at Livingston and Helena to Coz
below at Forts Shaw and AssinaOOine. In
the vicinity of the Little Jennie and Grand
Central mines on Bald Mountain, the snow
is eight feet deep on the level, and travel
is impossible except in snow shoes.
A dispatch from YanktOn, Dakota, SAYS:
The unusually severe winter and the large
amount of snow which has fallen in the
Missouri slope from the Yellowstone coun-
try To Omaha, are the cause for grave APP
~prehensiOns of Overflows and foundations
of the bOttOm-lands along the river fOrtwo
hundred miles above and below this city.
The river is very low, and where there is
no current, the ice measures five feet in
thickness. In the channel four feet is the
average. Indians who make their homes
in the Missouri bottoms above this city are
moving to the hills, claiming that the
water will be higher than at any time since
1881, when the water covered the low
lands for thirty-fve days.

WILL LET IT STAND.
Congress Will Not Pass the Pension Bill
Over the Veto.

Over the Veto.
WASHINGTON, February 12.-The re-
suit of the interviews with the leaders OF
the various wings of the House indicates
that the exhaustive veto message of the
President ends the Dependent Pension bill.
Although the measure passed both houses
by more than q twO-thirds majority, it is
generally believed that the cOgent reason
ing against il on the part of the President
will prevent anything more than an at
tempt 10 pass the measure over the veto.
Considerable satisfaction is expressed by
the Republicans over the veto. They say
they can make political capital out of it.
Some Democrats are fearful OF the effect OF
the Presidents veto on the soldier element.
Mr.. Matson, the Chairman of the Inva.
lid Pensions Committee, TO which the bill
was referred, believes the bill will be re-
ported back to the House for passage over
the veto.
Mr.. Springer said that in his opinion no
man who had ever filled the Office OF
President before Cleveland would have had
the boldness to veto such q Gill which
had passed both houses by more that two
thirds majority and which had such a
powerful sentiment ut the back af it. MY
admiration Tor the man." said Mr.. Spring
er, "never was so great as now. Against n
sentiment which all parties have bowed,
against the sentiment of his own party,
against the overwhelming majority OF
Congress, and at the risk Of running his
prospects practically he has the strength
and the courage to act according to the
convictions of his heart and mind. If the
President is not sustained by Congress, it
will be bad for him; if he is sustained,
then this incident may I've the turning
point of a popular reaction against tue
abuse of the pension business"
